24.01.2022 Hi Everyone! As we are heading towards December I thought I’d put the message up early for those getting organised Gift vouchers of any amount are available as always if you are after gift ideas. For those wanting to chill out and get all their muscles switched on for Chistmas, I will be running a FULL DAY OF CHRISTMAS EVE PILATES classes on Dec 24th (of course).... There are places still available at 9am, 11am, 12, 2pm and 3pm. Book your spot now so you don’t miss out!!! *** These classes are only available to those people who have done classes with me previously. New people will be more than welcome to come along in the new year Sarah

24.01.2022 Credit where it is due. I have doubled the Christmas decorations in the clinic since last festive season. Its been an effort but I think youll agree that its all been worth it... Wishing all our clients a happy and healthy Christmas. Thank you for trusting us with your health and we look forward to seeing you all in the new year. We open again on Jan 2nd. Maree, Richard and Sarah

23.01.2022 Thanks for your patience everyone! Theres lots of work being done and it shouldnt be too long now until we are open for business again. I will post on here when we are up and going again. Thanks, Sarah

22.01.2022 This is a simplified version of some important concepts. I hope it helps someone today

20.01.2022 Use this time. Read something, make something, write something, start stretching, use the trampoline in your back yard. Do something that youll be proud of when this time has passed. Start so small that it feels like hardly anything. Do it daily. Before you know it, youll have achieved something

20.01.2022 Its not my post but its my thoughts. #thewholedaily

20.01.2022 Hello!!! I hope everyone is going well. Ive been pretty quiet on here because there hasnt been much to say. Theres been a lot of noise on social media during this time and I didnt really want to add to it. Sometimes its nice to have some silence. We hope to be opening again in May some time. Ill give you more info when Ive decided exactly what that will look like and what services will be offered as things start to get back to normal. We arent taking bookings right now, but we will be soon. Cant wait to see everyone Stay tuned

19.01.2022 5 years ago today we added yet another string to the bow of Ballarat Bodysmart and I started running Studio Pilates...with this pilates machine...in this tiny room but it worked just fine! And now we have a beautiful big space and lots of room to move. Testament to the old adage Start where you are, start with what you have. Thank you to every Chiro, Surgeon, GP, EP, etc...who have referred and mostly thank you to all the people who have trusted me with their health. Youve all come such a long way. I cant wait to see you all again VERY SOON and dont worry, there is still loads of time to get you all fit and strong for Christmas. Sarah

19.01.2022 Read it. Then read it again.

16.01.2022 Theres a few lessons here: 1. You dont have to record everyyyytttthhhiiinnnggggg you do and splatter it all over fb...but Im grateful these people did 2. To avoid concussion, if youre going to use free weights cough up a few dollars extra for the collars.... We might be technically closed but if you are already a client of mine and would like homework/exercise plans, text or private message me. We can do payments over the phone and your program designed specially for your body will be emailed to you OR we can FaceTime and I can lead you through your work out. Loads of clients have already done this and so far none of them have appeared in videos like this... Technique is paramount. If youre exercising without correct technique/resistance you will create problems (and ill have to fix it!). Sarah

15.01.2022 We dont care if youre not in the latest pilates gear. Nor do we care if youre heavier than youd like to be, cant seem to gain weight, if youre physically weak, or if you think youre unco. To us, you are the next person brave enough to ask for help with your pain/physical health/anxiety/injury or general wellbeing...and for that youll have nothing but our admiration. If you want to be judged harshly, youll need to go somewhere else. If you want someone to stand beside you to support you to a healthier life, you belong here.

14.01.2022 True. Your thoughts are so important. Gently reassess what youre telling yourself day after day and watch your health change.

14.01.2022 Before everyone turns into Tony Robbins and puts so much pressure on themselves planning 2020 that they fall in a screaming heap by February...just take a minute to relax. Choose one thing from your list. One. Make a small step in the direction of achieving that goal and do it today, not January 1st, today. That way youll have finished 2019 with an achievement already under your belt and you can continue with another small step tomorrow.... If improving your health, reducing stress, reducing pain, increasing energy and wellbeing is on your list, we can help Just make a small step today, not tomorrow. It might be a phone call, it might be a decision, but do it today. Wishing you all a sense of gratitude for 2020. Thats where true health begins. Looking forward to seeing you in 2020 Sarah.

13.01.2022 Have a great Christmas everyone. CLOSED: Dec 24th - Jan 2nd. See you all in 2020!

13.01.2022 UPDATE : For those of you who havent been contacted yet... As we were last lockdown, we are considered an essential service and we are allowed to operate (with the exception of Pilates). However, I have decided to close for at least a couple of weeks at this stage. ... Video or phone consults will still be available and so will home programs and essential oils if you need them. So feel free to text me if you need any of these things. Remember the things that you know are good for you during this time Drink loads of water, Vit C (Yes it is good for you, it always has been. Get on board), Sunlight/Vit D, Zinc, Fresh Air and Deep Breathing, Finding a way to de-stress for 10-30 mins a day, Exercise, and most of all, calling friends...the real friends who make you laugh until you cry. Call them a lot. Take care and see you soon! Sarah

12.01.2022 The new pilates studio is taking shape! Wont be long now

11.01.2022 Here is a picture of a relaxed otter. Focus on the cuteness while I let you know that Pilates classes cannot return until November at this stage (yes, I know...dont even start me on it ). But on the upside we can offer:... * Cold Laser Therapy (Yay!) * Lymphatic Therapy (Woo Hoo!) * Injury Care (Yippee!) * Exercise Prescription *** Remedial Massage is NOT available at this time. Looking after your mental and physical wellbeing during this time is easier with a little help Sarah xx 0414618449.

11.01.2022 Hi everyone I am already getting messages about the changes to Ballarat Bodysmart as a result of Dan Andrews most recent decisions for Victoria so I thought Id jump on for a chat. Last time we went through stage 3, we were considered an essential service and I expect that we will be this time too but who knows until tomorrow. What we do know is that group pilates classes will be cancelled for the next 6 weeks. Much more info should be available tomorrow Sarah.

05.01.2022 Lots of people have gained a bit of weight during COVID. It may not be ideal but what I am noticing is the beauty in some of the reasons for it. Here’s some of them: Family Movie nights Baking more for friends and family and with the kids ... More time spent at home relaxing Less time rushing Resting. Actually resting Breaking of restricting routines Sourdough! Of course there is also depression, lethargy, health issues, comfort eating etc., There are always good and bad reason but what if it’s as simple as you were faced with a challenging year on multiple levels and rather than shrink from it you just got a little bigger. Maybe you gained a few kilos but had enough quiet time to rethink parts of your life. Maybe you developed more empathy FOR YOURSELF and weigh a bit more. Maybe you had time to be grateful. Maybe you have been twice as busy, three times as stressed out and here you are! Getting through it! Whether you have lost weight, gained it or stayed the same during this time, your value is not in anyway connected to it. If you have people in your life who make you feel that your value is in some way less because you weigh a little more then they, my friends, are the only dead weight you need to lose!

05.01.2022 Remember to find some time for yourself each day. Constant stress does terrible things to our immune systems and we need our immunity at the moment. Even if its 10 minutes alone just to sit without social media, without all the noise, just sit and breathe. Even better, lay on your back on the floor stretching your legs up the wall, stretch your arms out wide and relax for 10 minutes. Then call me and Ill come and help you get up off the floor...... While we are all working life out, find a small amount of time a day for you. You can. We all can. Sarah

05.01.2022 DO NOT PANIC! WE ARE NOT LEAVING BALLARAT. As of tomorrow there will be a For Sale sign outside Ballarat Bodysmart. I AM NOT selling the business, I am selling the building. Maree, Richard and I will just be working out of a different building about 4 minutes from here...so youll be able to add or subtract that from your current travel time (complaints about this will be largely ignored ). I am excited about this big change but Im also a little sad to be leaving my cute ...little cottage...especially considering that Ive been growing that small hedge out the front there for about 4000 years and of course its finally the way I wanted it . I want to thank everyone who has supported me and all the staff who have worked under this roof. I have been blessed beyond my dreams to have this business which has barely had a quiet day in nearly 20 years. Ill keep you posted about the new place of business but in the meantime it would be great if one of you decided to come and buy my house for substantially more than its true value... Sarah. See more

05.01.2022 In no way am I minimalising this. I am a small business owner who has had to ask staff to stay home for their own good and as of today I have suspended trade for the first time in 20 years, for well...who knows how long. It looks like I may have only just beaten the mandatory closures anyway? BUT! Your Grandparents, Great Grandparents, some of your parents, have seen The Depression and World Wars. Theyve seen hunger and illness, death and loss on a massive scale and they wer...e resilient. As much as weve seen some disappointing behaviour recently, the true Australian Spirit lives on and I saw it today as I sent out just some of the messages to clients that wed closed. I received hundreds, HUNDREDS of offers to help, and messages of support. I cant even begin to tell you how touched I have been. As we draw closer to Anzac Day I hope it reminds us all of who we are as a people and that we need to look after eachother. Keep in touch with people by phone. Keep physically away from others as much as possible. If you dont think this is a big deal, I strongly suggest pulling your head out of the sand or any alternate dark place you may have lodged it. Look after yourselves people. We care about you and we hope to see you very soon. Sarah See more

03.01.2022 If you need help, Ive found a way to keep business going, just in a slightly different way and its working well! I am doing FaceTime consults to help you out with exercise or home treatments for sinus/injury/neck and back pain/health support and/or self treatment and we are doing payments over the phone. Im also using this time and the sunshine to make oil blends for some clients and organise exercise homework for other clients.... Some of the powerful oils blends clients have been asking for the most are blends for: IMMUNITY!! STRESS & ANXIETY blends to assist in creating calm and a sense of peace. SLEEP SINUS & HAYFEVER HEADACHE ACHES & PAINS FEELINGS OF OVERWHELM DIGESTION SUPPORT OVERALL HEALTH BOOST Let me know if I can help by sending a private message here on Facebook messenger.

03.01.2022 CLOSED: Dec 25th - Jan 18th

03.01.2022 We are back due to popular demand and numerous client messages bordering on harassment... Things will be a little different for awhile as we navigate our way back to normal. Because our regular clients are so important to us we want to look after them first. This means that we wont be taking new clients for the month of June. Strict hygiene protocols will be adhered to in the clinic and our expectation is that you reschedule if you have any sign of illness or if you have b...een near to anyone with any symptoms of illness. Here is what you need to know: * Private one on one Pilates sessions are available now. * Group Pilates classes return as of June 22nd. * Laser Therapy is available now. * Lymphatic Therapy is available now. * Rehab/Injury Care/Solving the puzzle of your pain is available now. Just for now Remedial Massage with Maree and Richard isnt available but should be back in a few weeks. Sarah

02.01.2022 Moving Update!!! We will be closed as of tomorrow for a few weeks as we start the process of moving to new premises and doing some small renovations. I will definitely post the new address and info when we have moved and were hoping that we will be up and running again for the second week of February. Sarah
